'Vacation' means titillating my taste buds.
Being a cook, there's always pressure - not for your ego but for people to love your food.
Things taste less salty when they're cool.
I have an insatiable palate. I'll try anything once, with an open mind. However, there is a special place in my heart for Kraft Macaroni & Cheese. Don't get me wrong, I've sampled specialty Mac & Cheese all over the world, but nothing competes with the stuff I grew up on.
A man loves the meat in his youth that he cannot endure in his age.
I have a sweet tooth, yeah.
It's still my happiest time when I'm eating.
I definitely love kimchi. The biggest influence that eating so much Korean food growing up had on me was that I have no limit for spiciness. The hotter the better.
There's a science to ordering potatoes. Are they skinny shoestring or big, fat steak fries? You just have to let your taste buds guide you when deciding what to eat.
In food, it's really, like, either you're right, or you're wrong. You know, people's taste buds kind of vary, but there's a technique. Either you do it right, or you don't.
Italian wines are my favorites. I like a big, booming red wine that blows your taste buds away.
I know I'm kind of a wuss when it comes to spicy foods.
As a chef, if I can taste something, I can basically figure out what's in it.
I love to try the local food wherever I am. But I'm not that adventurous when it comes to eating. I prefer to be safe. I have failed at eating some daring food.
Actually, after many years on the campaign trail, there is not a particular food that I've come across that I would avoid.
I wake up in the morning thinking about food.
If it tastes good, spit it out!
You never forget the discovery years. First kisses. The first time you try certain foods.
If you're hungry, you know that you want to eat. You don't know what's on the menu - perhaps it's not your favorite dish - but you will eat.
I love spicy food, love it. But wasabi is just painful.
It seems odd to think of tasting without any perceptive experience, but you are doing it right now. Humans have taste receptor cells in the gut, the voice box, the upper esophagus. But only the tongue's receptors report to the brain.
I will tell you, I'm a lousy cook, but I think I'm a pretty good judge of a good meal.
I'd like to stand up for the rights of people who put everything on their burger - chutney, mustard, pickle, mustard pickle, tomato sauce... It is common knowledge in my family that I can't tell the difference between a veggie burger and a meat one, because the ratio of burger to pickles is so high.
Baking is too precise for me. I cook with a pinch of this or that.
There is no sincerer love than the love of food.
